FOL'R-The Heppner Gaiette-Times, Around About By Juttine Weatherford As this shortest of months approaches its final day, Heppner has surely had a remarkable assortment of weather conditions - from bright, warm, spring sunshine back to snowflakes in just two days. It is so good to have the anguish many citizens were suffering over the fear that the Heppner Neighborhood Center might be closed abated now. Because I am of the persuasion that whenever possible, institutions and individuals should strive to be self-supporting, I have wondered about a small change at the Neighborhood Center. In many more populous communities there are Thrift Shops, or St. Vincent DePaul Societies or Salvation Army or Goodwill Stores. These organizations collect, repair and offer many things for sale at very low prices. Our county has no such outlet. The Neighborhood Center is a place that is given many items of clothing and also miscellaneous articles that they carefully sort and stock to give to needy individuals and families. I recall that after some of the many garage and yard sales during the warm months here, the assortment of unsold goods is taken to the center where Mrs. Brindle and her loyal volunteer crew of daily assistants have sorted and stored the usable items. We all agree that during times of stress and unemployment and in cases of very limited pensions it is fine to give out as much help as possible to those in dire need. However, there are many people who have some need who just can't accept charity - who would prefer being able to pay small amounts for good pre-used clothing and household articles. I have not talked my idea over with anyone in authority at the center or in our county or city or in the E.C.O.A.C., but I have been wondering if the center couldn't try a little more selling - maybe just during the winter months before the garage and yard sale season begins? You may have observed that presently there is an assortment of hand-made gift items for sale there. These attractive things were made by the Thursday afternoon ladies group, who enjoy socializing as they create clever "whatnots." The money realized from the sale of these items ' goes into a fund from which more craft materials are purchased. Any woman enjoying making new friends and working with her hands is most welcome to the Thursday afternoon group. ' My thought is that nearby the present sale shelves, there might be added a few racks of children's and adults' clothing which on five days each week, persons might look over and purchase at very low prices. Perhaps this thrift shop idea could be tried on a small scale, for a short time, to see if it would help the center and also help some burdened citizens. A very good parent telephoned me last week to tell me how very impressed he is with music teacher Jim Ackley and his Saturday Colt Basketball League. We talked over some of the other good works this fine citizen carries on. I certainly agree that our community is a better place because Jim Ackley came here. Our conversation led to words about the fact that too few parents are willing to give their time and talents to work with youth. We both felt grateful to the parents who are 4-H leaders, who help with Scouting and Campfire Girls and other youth groups. Are your children looking forward to swynming pool days? Are you aware that the Ron Forrar-led project to solar heat the swimming water is much in need of more funds? Do you realize that each summer many out-of-town folks come here with their swim teams to spend time and money in this community while they cheer for their teams? Mr. Forrar has worked with young people on this project, giving them instruction as they build together. It would be so good if everyone able would see that the solar project gets more financial backing soon before work gets underway there again. KUMA to visit on St. Patrick's Day The KUMA "Koffee Hour," a popular talk show that has aired on KUMA, Pendleton for nearly 27 years, will come to Heppner on St. Patrick's Day, March 17. Ted A. Smith, manager of KUMA and host of the program, made a casual comment on last year's St. , Patrick's Day program that "we should go to Heppner some year." Jim Farley, owner of Farley Motors in Heppner, heard the comment and invited Smith to bring the program to his showroom. The program will originate from Farley's business firm from 10 to 11 a.m. on March 17. Bill Kilkenny of Pendleton, a former Heppner resident, will assist Smith with the program and Farley is lining up many local Heppner area Irishmen to also take part. Another feature of the pro gram will be tape-recorded songs by the late Joe Doherty , formerly of Pilot Rock and Pendleton. il 7T- I Heppner, Oregon, Thursday.
